Marintec China 2027 - international trade show for maritime Technology and Shipbuilding

Marintec China is the international maritime exhibition in Shanghai covering shipbuilding, marine engines and equipment, shipping and ports, offshore and cruise ships. Its organisers, Informa Markets and the Shanghai Society of Naval Architects & Marine Engineers (SSNAME), call it Asia's largest maritime event. It has been held since 1981 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC).

Marintec China takes place every two years, in odd-numbered years. In even-numbered years, Shanghai hosts only the Marintec Innovation industry conference in December, with no exhibition.
